He said that quite seriously as he looked at me.
This ambiguous atmosphere surged, and for the first time, my heart was beating so much faster while I stood in front of Marius. I lowered my head and played with a thread, not knowing how to respond.
Marius suddenly smiled after a long time. "Come now, there's no other meaning to that. We’re just brother and sister. Why are you being so polite? Don’t you think so, Sis Wan?"
"Yeah."
I gave a one-word reply and then went back to the room without looking back at Marius' expression.
I did not turn on my phone immediately after charging it.
Even though I knew very well that Shannon would definitely call me again, I was already exhausted today.
Tomorrow… I would deal with this tomorrow.
I wish I would wake up and find out that it was all just a dream.
I should just close my eyes.
That was just a hope of mine, though.
When I opened my eyes, I was still in Marius' apartment, and everything around me was still unfamiliar.
After getting up and washing up, I left the room. Marius was already up. "Come and have breakfast. It's just done. You came at the right time."
Marius had prepared porridge and some side dishes.
"It rained yesterday, so it's good to have some porridge today,” he said while preparing the bowls and spoons.
"I didn't expect you to be so early."
He used to sleep till the sun was high back when he was at Drover’s. He had grown up.
"You’re here, after all. How dare I be lazy?” he said with a smile.
"Hush. Let’s eat breakfast."
I ended the conversation and concentrated on eating breakfast.
"Are you going to work today?"
"Yes."
